LinkedIn Profile Documents Export

The LinkedIn Profile Documents Export automation allows you to collect documents shared on LinkedIn profiles, capturing valuable resources like resumes, whitepapers, case studies, and presentations. This tool is ideal for recruiters, sales teams, and content analysts who want to track shared documents for insights or candidate information. Follow this guide to configure the automation, with options to export data to Google Sheets or CSV for organized tracking.

Step 1: Log in to the TexAu App and Locate the Automation

Log in to your TexAu account at v2-prod.texau.com. In the Automation Store, enter LinkedIn Profile Documents Export in the search bar to find the tool quickly.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Automation Store screen with "LinkedIn Profile Documents Export" entered in the search bar.

Step 2: Connect to LinkedIn with TexAu

To enable TexAu to access LinkedIn profile documents, connect your LinkedIn account. Click Add Account and select LinkedIn. TexAu provides two secure connection options:

• Magic Link: Sends a secure link to your email, allowing easy login without manually entering cookies.
• Add Account: Connects directly through TexAu’s built-in browser extension for streamlined setup.

Tip: Using Magic Link is a secure, fast way to connect LinkedIn without needing cookie management.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the LinkedIn connection options, highlighting both Magic Link and Add Account choices.

Step 3: Select Your Input Source

With LinkedIn connected, define the input source to specify the profiles you want to scrape for documents. You can enter a single LinkedIn Profile URL or upload a list of profile URLs using Google Sheets or CSV.

1. Single Profile URL: For one-time document extraction, enter the LinkedIn Profile URL of the target profile. This is ideal if you’re analyzing shared documents from a specific individual.
2. Google Sheet or CSV for Multiple Profiles: To collect documents from multiple profiles, use a Google Sheet or CSV file. List each LinkedIn Profile URL in a separate row, then paste the Google Sheet URL or upload the CSV file in TexAu. This setup is ideal for gathering documents from numerous profiles in one run, saving time.
3. Filtering Options: Add filters to target profiles more specifically, such as location or job title, to ensure the results align with your analysis goals.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

If you want the automation to run at specific times, use TexAu’s scheduling feature. Click Schedule to set the date and time, or configure a Recurrence Frequency to repeat the automation:

• At Regular Intervals (e.g., every day or every week)
• Once
• Every Day
• On Specific Days of the Week (e.g., every Tuesday and Thursday)
• On Specific Days of the Month (e.g., the 1st and 15th)
• On Specific Dates (e.g., March 5)

Scheduling is useful if you need periodic updates on newly shared documents.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the scheduling interface with options for start time and recurrence frequency.

Step 5: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

To avoid LinkedIn’s rate limits, set an Iteration Delay to control the interval between each document extraction. Configure Minimum Delay and Maximum Delay values to add variability, simulating natural browsing behavior. Adjust this delay in seconds, minutes, hours, or days based on your needs.

Screenshot Suggestion: Include a screenshot of the Iteration Delay settings, showing Minimum Delay, Maximum Delay, and time units.

Step 6: Choose Your Output Mode (Optional)

In Output Mode, select how you want to save and manage the extracted document data. Export data to Google Sheets or CSV file for easy organization and sharing.

1. Export Options: Choose Google Sheets or CSV file as your output destination. If selecting Google Sheets, link your Google account to enable a direct export to Google Drive.
2. Output Management:
   • Append (Default): Adds each new extraction to the end of the existing file, creating a cumulative list of shared documents.
   • Split: Each run generates a new file, useful for keeping data organized by session.
   • Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest extraction, ideal if you’re only tracking recent documents.
3. Duplicate Management: Use Deduplicate to automatically remove duplicate entries, ensuring clean and organized data.

Tip: Google Sheets export is ideal for team projects, allowing real-time updates on shared document data.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the output mode options screen with Google Sheets, CSV, and Deduplicate options highlighted.

Step 7: Run the Automation on Cloud or Desktop

Once configurations are complete, click Run to start the automation. Choose whether to run on Cloud or Desktop mode:

• Cloud: Runs the automation on TexAu’s servers, ideal for hands-free operation.
• Desktop: Run locally on your device if you prefer using your IP address, which can help simulate manual usage.

Tip: Running automations on Desktop mode saves cloud runtime costs and offers more control over task execution.

Screenshot Suggestion: Show the Run button with Cloud and Desktop options visible.

Step 8: Access the Data from the Data Store

After the automation completes, go to the Data Store section in TexAu to access the extracted document data. Locate the LinkedIn Profile Documents Export automation and click See Data to view or download the results.

Screenshot Suggestion: Display the Data Store screen with the “See Data” button highlighted.

The LinkedIn Profile Documents Export automation simplifies the process of gathering shared documents from LinkedIn profiles, making it valuable for recruitment, sales, and content analysis. With scheduling, bulk input options, and export to Google Sheets or CSV, this tool enables organized tracking of documents for efficient review and insights.
